Who owns what after a Standard deploy

5 min read

Owner shops in the 20–80 range ask a fair question before they book the 20 minutes: after a Standard deploy, what do we actually own?

Short answer: you own your data, your accounts, and your tools. Customizations written into the SOW are yours. You do not “own everything we build” as a blanket slogan — that line overpromises and confuses buyers.

What stays yours

  • Data — invoices, vendors, inboxes, workflows, and exports that sit in your systems.
  • Accounts — ERP, email, shared inboxes, and other logins remain under your control.
  • Tools — platforms you already run (or choose to keep) stay yours.
  • SOW customizations — scoped changes called out in the statement of work ship as your operating setup, not as a black-box product you cannot keep.

What Standard is (and is not)

Standard is a deploy with up to 2 FTE of capacity for owner shops of 20–80 headcount. Proof on the site is illustrative, not a client case-study portfolio.

If outcomes stall, the commercial cannon is a fee/work pause — not a promise of results, not “recover the setup fee in 90 days,” and not “we work free until you are made whole.”
